Cybertruck pics & videos from the Petersen Automotive Museum [Dates Extended Until July 5]

I think Tesla wants to keep the suspension tight lipped until the production version is released. Why? The competition. You know they all pre-ordered one to reverse engineer and study in fine detail.

Wow, it is a great truck and cannot wait to put it to work.
I am curious about the following:
1. How are they going to design the structure in order for the truck to be able to tow that much??
you cannot see underneath because it is all covered but the tow hitch is attached to what???

2. Suspension: it was not clear in the video how the cybertruck is designed?? I did not see the
the steering knuckle which is the part that contains the wheel hub or spindle, and attaches to the suspension and steering components.

anybody knows anything about the suspension design and how the truck is going to be able to tow that much?? how is it going to be a lot stronger than the Honda Ridgeline design???

Rivian showed the components underneath the body but tesla did not yet.

I trust that the professional engineers at Tesla have worked all that out....

Anyone else notice the lack of cameras? I could only spot 4 on the video (one on each front fender facing rearward and two by the rear license plate). I can assume there are some facing forward in the windshield, or maybe in the lower front opening, but i cant seem to spot them.

One thing that seems pretty clear from the pics. The tires that are currently sported by the prototype are not what will go on the production model. The ones on the prototype are clearly marked "not for highway use".

I would advocate a rugged terrain tire (aka hybrid terrain) as an option. I love my nitto ridge grapplers. They have the bold styling and mud lugs on the outer portions, but a middle section that is great for on-road performance and less sound. They have lasted well for me. Several brands make this style tire and I feel that the CT would be well paired with a set of these in looks, on and off road performance and range. For those that don't know what a rugged terrain tire is, link below.

You are right possibly to keep the competition out for now until they get one and gut it.

Here's a side by side image showing that the Cybertruck's suspension setting at the museum is lower than when it made its debut on reveal night.

Guys, to see CT should i buy Vault ticket? Or regular is fine?

My guess would be the same supplier of the SpaceX program in Boca Chica.

Not to mention that SpaceX rates For 30XX stainless might go down for larger/combined orders with Tesla.

No, they are just going to rent one off Turo and destroy it.

Sorry. I don't know. I'm only replying to help keep your post from getting buried.

I like the pics with Tony Stark/Iron Man overlooking the CT. Especially relevant since Elon was in Iron Man 2 as himself.

I don’t remember that, will have to go and watch it again.

regular is fine. the cyber is right at the entrance. you can even see it from outside the entrance with no pass needed... through the window. I saw people going into the doors just to see the cyber with no ticket... just walked next to the gift shop and cyber is there... hell if the tickets are sold out u can still see cyber by walking up.... and just asking the worker nicely, they seem to be very open minded ..... vault is closed and it's to see the Ferraris... admission let's you see the restxof museum...
